Catalogue for the exhibition Barbara Hepworth: The Hospital Drawings at Pallant House Gallery from 16 February – 16 June 2013. Hepworth’s Hospital Drawings have never before been seen and are all illustrated here alongside images from Hepworth’s only surviving hospital sketchbook. In the 1950s Hepworth gave a lecture explaining the importance of the drawings to her sculptural practise. The full text of this lecture is reproduced with an essay which traces the development of the remarkable Hospital Drawings and examines the deep and lasting friendship of Hepworth and the surgeon she painted.
